RGIA Bulletin
17 April. 2008, Hyderabad
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, would like to state the following on the alert bulletin staged and the dharna staged by the Air Corporation Employees Union (ACEU), of both Indian and Air India employees, in the airport premises today April 17, 2008.
RGIA has pro-actively provided many facilities and services to the employees of various airlines, including Air India (erstwhile Indian Airlines included), which resulted in the seamless shifting of operations from Begumpet and smooth conduct of the same in the new airport for the last 26 days.
The facilities provided by RGIA to the employees of airlines and other companies associated with the airport have been well appreciated and acknowledged by Air India management.
Many of the issues raised by ACEU members in their bulletin today pertain to their employer, NACIL (National Aviation Company of India Limited), and RGIA has no role to play on such issues.
However, RGIA would like to assure that on any inadequacy of facilities taken up by the Air India management, GHIAL will continue to proactively respond, and augment the facilities and maintain the best standard.
